GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Notes from round 2 qualifying in Pro Stock Motorcycle at the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, 44th
annual Amalie Oil NHRA Gatornationals listing lane, rider name, elapsed time/top speed this round,
position in order following run, best prior elapsed time/speed, and position in order prior to run:
Left Lane: Redell Harris No Time, Now #21; Best prior run: 7.176/187.81, Was #21
Right Lane: Michael Phillips Runs 8.671/108.21, Now #22; No Prior Run

Harris
left way too soon, and got no time slip, Phillips sat up pretty early on his bid, the reason not clear
from here.

Left Lane: Freddie Camarena Runs 7.086/191.57, Now #19; Best prior run: 7.088/189.84, Was
#18
Right Lane: James Surber Runs 7.080/190.38, Now #18; Best prior run: 7.173/186.67, Was #20

John Hall is currently in the 12th spot with a 6.935, the minimum these two riders are
shooting for...

Nice runs, but not quick enough to get into the top 12. Left Lane: Katie Sullivan Runs 6.941/192.06, Now #13; Best prior run: 7.016/189.87, Was
#17
Right Lane: Joe DeSantis Runs 7.039/189.95, Now #18; Best prior run: 7.155/183.10, Was #20

Tonglet was unable to shift into a higher gear during his pass, Underdahl slows by
..02. Left Lane: Eddie Krawiec No Time, Now #16; Best prior run: 6.986/185.72, Was #16
Right Lane: Chip Ellis Runs 6.982/191.00, Now #14; Best prior run: 6.945/186.87, Was #14

Krawiec, last years winner was pushed back after the burnout, so Ellis will have a single,
and Eddie will be busy trying to get into the field tomorrow.

Arana's team has to run up to the starting line to refire his motorcycle - he then had a
couple of big wiggles during the run. Ray's run was smooth all the way to the stripe. Left Lane: Mike Berry Runs 6.860/195.17, Now #7; Best prior run: 6.891/190.19, Was #9
Right Lane: Andrew Hines Runs 6.836/194.66, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.885/190.62, Was #8

Pollacheck had to lean off the left side of his bike most of the way, he had a good view of
Smith running the quickest pass so far today. Matt Smith's incremental times: 60ft-1.052 sec.,
330ft-2.829, 660ft-4.342/161.44 mph, 1,000ft-5.668. Left Lane: Hector Arana Jr Runs 6.849/195.82, Now #3; Best prior run: 6.831/194.55, Was #2
Right Lane: Hector Arana Runs 6.817/195.22, Now #2; Best prior run: 6.832/192.25, Was #3

Arana Senior moves ahead of Arana Jr... He came close, but just missed the top spot. So
we end Friday's action with Matt Smith in the number one spot with a 6.804, and Angie Smith held onto
the 12th spot with a 6.918. 4:02 p.m.
